Dave
well said.. the 'prosperity gospel' is going to produce nothing more than 'rice christians' as it has done in all places where the gospel has been perceived as a source of material abundance.

The other point I make is this. Its clear that the 'religion' offered by Jesus is NOT a construct of 'desperate humans seeking a crutch'.. if it was, it would be much more compatable with our passions and base desires.

Well said Dave! I love the beatitudes reading because in it I see Jesus affirming the work of his disciples. It's a message of hope.
